Is Jody Gerut black or mixed, though? Cuz technically Jeter, Kidd, Halle Berry, etc are NOT Black, they are HALF Black and HALF White. [/OT] As far as AA All-Stars under 30.......If Willie Harris keeps the good approach he's got going, he will be there. Chone Figgins is close to that level this year. Brandon Phillips is already there - just ask him. Vernon Wells. Carl Crawford will be one. Pierre is a long shot.

Thanks for another informative response.

Along with Garret Anderson, this guy has been highly underrated in the last 2-3 years. He is every bit as good and probably even a little better than Magglio IMO. And he is not asking for 15 Mill a year. But the thing that suprised me is that he is 12 for 12 in steals. 30yo, 215-pound slugger is not supposed to be out-stealing Willie Harris - which is why I want Willie to be running more and better. Is there any chance if Sox don't re-sign Maggs, Abreu ends up in black and white at some point? Not sure what the conracts situ is.

Crap I just noticed he had a nice streak and is now gonna right up there. Hopefully he goes really cold - his speed is mediocre and D below average, so as long as he is not ahead of Willie/Uribe offesnively, he doesn't deserve to go. Speaking of deserved....I realize that lemmings who vote on these things will never allow Willie within a canon shot of ASG and Uribe might end up being snobbed as well. Just watch, Garciaparra makes it over Carlos Guillen......So f*** 'em.

Ronnie Belliard is starting to fade, is inferior to Uribe in every way and plays for a losing team. Soriano is not having a "Soriano" season at the plate or on the base-paths, and his defense still sucks, albeit not as much as it used to. Texas should be under .500 by the time July 10th rolls around. Roider McBatflipper over in Seattle has no range or speed left, and .220 with no power is just that. Harris still has an outside shot, but since he refuses to steal bases all of the sudden and is mostly a CF now....unless his OBP explodes into 400's and he swipes 15-20 more bags before the break......It will be tough to edge Juan. So Gammons is basically right.....I told you not to underestimate BabyBarroa cuz BabyBerroa will f***in' kill you.

Or move/run for that matter

Because Blacks are athletically superior, first and foremost?

That I am. And more! That be a trick question, KT?

Oh ok gotcha - cuz for a moment there I thought you were referring to the hilariously insane and millimeter-deep "social security/healthcare is no godamn god-given right, ahhhhh!" diatribes. Larry Bird, he could play. Not much of a looker, though.

I am sorry - apparently I had you confused with that momoistic Illini drone Koch_This. Different poster, my bad.

And, if the sun positions itself around Earth just right, Republicans can be looked at as soul-less and dangerously short-sighted hypocrites. Allegedly.

Go where?

NBA (and football) IS mostly a Black man's game. It requires superior quickness and agility. Therefore....

I am trying to "prove" that Matt Clement was totally bailed-out by the rain against the Cardinals last year. Most starters didn't have the benefit/luck of having one of their worst outings effectively "wiped out" - Matt's real ERA for 2003 was in 4.30's. Got it, Koch_This fairy?

Yasny, it's amazing how something this obvious is ignored by so many. Shingo and Marte should be kept as fresh as humanly possible. Politte has to close out 3-4 run games, ideally. If you can't trust Jackson with a 13-6 lead in the 7th-8th......Might as well cut him and call up Bajenaru.

But not really.

Last year, Sox got LUCKY they avoided losing the 1st two at the Cell (Cubs had bases loaded a lot and hung frozen ropes at people a lot, esp in the Danny Wright start), whereas they won the 3rd game fair and square. Sox were NOT better than the Cubs in 2003 head-to-head despite lucking out with a 4-2 record. Cubs had a better team than the Sox did and played in a tougher division. Whether you and other biased Sox fans accept this that I couldn't care less. Furthermore, Sox didn't face Prior ONCE and only had Wood once (got beat handily). Zambrano beat us. Sox did beat Clement, but he was going through his "fall behind, hang a slider" phase - the Clement Sox will face later this month will have an unhittable slider and will not begin to unravel until late July at the earliest. Finally, Sox beat that loser who pitches for Colorado now. By the time Sox face the Cubs, there won't be Mitre or Rusch to knock around. Prior-Zambrano-Wood-Clement-Maddux, the best rotation in the game. Sox pitching "as good" as Cubs pitching? Is this a joke? Stop lying to yourself, you'll feel better. Our #1 Buerhle would be a #4 on the Cubs - at best. Sosa will be back with a bang (probably back on the juice cycle, too). Derek Lee will be riding his typical summer groove. Alou and Ramirez are always MONEY. Todd Walker should be out of his slump and Barret is having everybit as good a season as Olivo. Whatever they get out of bum Patterson and bench extraordinaire Hollansworth would be a bonus. To say that they couldn't handle Sox pitching is crazy. Rotations that have Garland as #3 and Shoenweiss as #4 ordinarily don't dominate ANYBODY. 1-5 is what Sox are looking at realistically. I am not wrong a lot (Willie Harris notwithstanding), but if I am wrong here and Sox end up taking 5 out of 6 or double-sweeping.....well, that suits me just fine. :fthecubs

.....cuz once on base, the tyke is liable to swipe 2nd without a throw....

Oh that's such bulls*** - his 94 mph heater would jam your nephew big-time, with a soft liner that results likely caught by the RF. Nice try.

A couple of years ago, in my hey-day, they referred to it as "pitching through pain". Not sure what it goes by now.

Got a big dick, too. Reckon it shouid raise his value some. Throw in Koch and Reed and call Moreno regarding Russ Ortiz's availability. Not a great PR move, but it addresses several needs.

There is nothing wrong with his arm.

Had a feeling it would be high

Just another reason to hate on LaTroy. Former Tween. Current Cub. I wish the worst of luck on the cocksucker, but other than that, meh. :fthecubs

The guy is great! It's a damn shame they never did hire a female opera-singing heckler to complement OSV.
